Hi Paul,

You can't.

 PQ> FMail completely ignores a FREQ from me to my main node,

That's by design. Freq's are not really the domain of a mail processor/tosser.

A BSO mailer needs a .req file to send a file request to a node. So if you
would pack a netmail with a freq flag into a .pkt file nothing that you
expect would happen except of course the .pkt file would be send to the
node. Where it would be handled by the nodes tosser, and not by the mailer
or freq processor...

Bye, Wilfred.
